26 But now *4is_made_manifest, and tby the scriptures of_the_prophets, ac- cording_to the commandment of_the everlasting God, «made_known to all -nations for the obedience of_faith :

THE FIRST EPISTLE OF_ PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THF
CORINTHIANS.
AUL, called to be an apostle of_ Jesus Christ through the will of_ God, and Sosthenes owr “brother,
2 Unto_the church of_-God -+which is at Corinth, “to _them_that_are_ sanctified in Christ Jesus, =called to be saints, with all that in every place call_upon the name ¢of_Jesus Christ our -Lord, both their’s and our’s:
3 Grace be unto_you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. i
4 J_thank my «God always on your behalf, for the grace of_-God which +is_ given you ‘by ¢ Jesus ! Christ ;
5That in every_thing ye_*are_enriched iby Him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge ;
6 Eyen_as the testimony of_-Christ was_confirmed in you:
7 So_that ye come_behind in no gift, waiting_for the coming of_our ~Lord Jesus Christ:
8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of_our ~Lord Jesus Christ.
9.-God 7s faithful, by whom ye_were_ called unto the fellowship of_His -Son Jesus Christ our ~Lord.
10 Now I_beseech you, brethren, ‘by the name of_our -Lord Jesus Christ, that ye_all speak the same_thing, and that there_be nosdivisions among you; but that ye_be “perfectly_joined_to- gether in the’same mind and in the same judgment. .
ll. For it_*hath_been_declared unto_ mecof you, my brethren, by them which
are of the house of_Chloe, that there_ |’
are contentions among you. 12 Now this I_say, that ¢every_one of_ you, saith, “£ i,;am of_Paul;” “and £
of_Apollos;” “and € of_Cephas;” “and £ of_Christ,”
13 “Is -Christ divided ? was Paul cru- cified for you? or were_ye_baptized tin the name of_Paul ?
14 J_thank -God that I_baptized none of_you, but Crispus and Gaius;
15 Lest any sshould-say that I_had_ baptized ‘in “mine own name.
16 And I_baptized also the household of_Stephanas: besides, I_“know not whether I_baptized any other.
17 For Christ sent me not to_baptize, but. to_preach_the_gospel: not i with wisdom of_-words, lest the cross of_
the chamberlain ofthe city saluteth | A.D. 60 you, and Quartus @ ~brother. 6
and 4
, “which_was_kept_secret ‘since | 1. 26, 27. | the =world began, é

effect.
18 For the wpreaching ~of_the cross is ,‘to_-+them_that perish foolishness ; but unto_us which are_sayed it_is the power of_God.
19 For it_‘is_written,
“JT_WILL_DESTROY THE WISDOM OF_ THE =WISE,
AND WILL_BRING_TO_NOTHING ‘THE UNDERSTANDING OF _ THE =PRU- DENT.”
20 Where is the -wise? where zs the -scribe? where zs the -disputer of this
a-world? shath not -God made_foolish | «.
the wisdom of_this »-world?
21 For after_that in the wisdom of_ “God the wworld ¢by -wisdom knew not «God, it_pleased -God tby the foolishness of _ preaching to _ ‘save -1them_that believe. °
2 For the Jews .+ require a sign, and the Greeks seck_after wisdom :
2 But we preach Christ ¢ “crucified, | unto_the_Jews «ia stumblingblock, and unto_the_Greeks foolishness ;

both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power
.| of_God, and the wisdom of_God.
25 Because the / foolishness of_-God is wiser than “men; and the weakness of_-God is stronger than -men.
26 For ye_see your «calling, brethren, how_that not many =wise men after the flesh, not many =mighty, not many =noble, are called :
27 But «God *hath_chosen the foolish_ things of_the world to » confound the w=wise; and God shath_chosen the weak_things of_the world to confound the_things_which-are mighty ;
28 And base_things of_the world, and «things _“which _ are _ despised, shath “God chosen, yea, and ~things_which are not, to -bring_to-nought ~things_ that are:
22 That no flesh :should_glory in His presence.
80 But of Him are pe in Christ Jesus, who / of God -is_made unto_us wisdom, «and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption :
81 That, according_as it_\is_written, “eiHE_THAT GLORIETH, 'LET_HIM_GLORY IN ‘the Lorp.”
AND f, brethren, »+when_I_came to
you, came not with excellency of_
speech or of_wisdom, declaring unto- you the testimony of_.God.
2 For I_determined not -to_\know any_thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him “crucified.
8 And £ was with you in -weak- ness, and in fear, and in much trem- bling. :
4 And my «speech and my «preaching was not iwith penticing words of_man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of_the_ Spirit and of_power:
5 That your -faith 'should not 6stand in the wisdom of_men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we_speak wisdom among them_that_are /perfect: yet not the wisdom of_this «-world, nor of _the princes of_this ««world, that come_ to_nought:
7 But we_speak the wisdom of_God
-|in a mystery, even the “hidden wisdom, “| which
rGod pordained before the «g =world unto our glory:
8 Which none of_the princes of_this «world knew: for ->had_they_known it, they_--would not have _crucified the Lord of_-glory.
9 But as it_‘is_written,
“ ,t EYE *HATH NOT SEEN,
Nor EAR *HEARD,
NEITHER have ENTERED INTO the HEART OF_MAN,
The THINGS_WHICH *Gop hath PRE- PARED FOR _+THEM _ THAT LOVE
10 But “God hath revealed them unto_ us ‘by His -Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all_things, yea, the deep_
-|things of_-God.
11 For what man “knoweth the_things of_a_-man, save the spirit of_-man which_is in him? even so the_things of_-God “knoweth ~no_man, but the
*| Spirit of--God.
_ 2 Now we have received, not the
I, -CoRINTHIANS
spirit of_the world, but the Spirit which_ is of -God; that we_'might_know the_ things_that -+are_freely_given to_us lof “God.
13 Which-things also we_speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but ,i which the Holy sGhost teacheth ; comparing spiritual_things with spiritual.
14 But the sonatural man receiveth not the_things of_the Spirit of_-God: for they_are foolishness unto_him: neither can_he -know them, because they_are spiritually discerned.
1 But he_that_is spiritual @judgeth a'all things, yet he_himself is_¢di judged of » no_man.
16 Por “wuo *HATH_KNowN the MIND| 1
oF_J the_LorD, THAT HE_'MAY_INSTRUCT Him?” But we have the mind of_ Christ.
AND &, brethren, could not «speak
unto’_ you as unto _ spiritual, but as unto_carnal, even as unto_babes in Christ.
2 J_have_fed you with_milk, and not with_meat: for hitherto ye_were not able to bear it, neither yet now are_ye_ able.
8 For ye_are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are_ye not carnal, and walk «as men ?
4 For while one saith, “¥ ,‘am of_ Paul ;” and another, “£ am of_Apol- los ;” are_ye not ¢arnal ?
5 Who then is Paul, and who 7s Apol- los, but “ministers ‘by whom ye -be- lieved, even as the Lord gave to_eevery_ man?
6 £ have planted, Apollos watered ; but -God “gave_the_increase.
7 So_then neither ishe_that planteth any_thing, neither -he-that watereth ; but God -4that giveth_the_increase.
8 Now he_that planteth and -he_ that watereth are oone: and ¢ every_ man shall_receive ~his_own reward according to ~his_own labour.
9 For we _are labourers _ together of with_God: ye_are God’s ‘husbandry, ye are God's Merits
10 According_to the grace of_-God which -+is_given unto_me, as a wise amasterbuilder, I_have_laid the founda- tion, and another buildeth_thereon. But 'let eevery_man take_heed how he_ buildeth_thereupon.
it For other foundation can »no_man ‘lay than that is_laid, which is Jesus «Christ.
2 Now if any man build upon this
foundation gold, silver, precious stones, |
=wood, hay, stubble ;
13 ea Every _man’s «work shall_be — made manifest: for the day shall_de- clare tt, because _it_'shall_be_revealed iby fire; and the fire shall_try eaevery_ man’s «work of_what_sort it_is.
14Tf any man’s -work abide which he_hath_built_thereupon, he_shall_re- ceive a k reward. :
15 Tf any man’s work shall_be_burned, | .
he_shall_suffer_loss: but he _ himself shall_be_saved ; yet_so as /by fire. , 16 “Know-_ye not that ye_are -the
